Things that someone in a position of authority should never say:
"The station was purchased last year by Bill Craig. He has been planning the split into two different stations and this past week, that plan was operationalized."

What, speak in the passive voice? There probably aren't that many verbs that can act on the noun 'plan', but really, any of them have to be better than 'operationalize'.

Sorry, that should be "has to be better". When picking on someone else's grammar, it's best to make sure that your grammar is correct.

Ooh. "Operationalized" may be my new favourite "word".
